From groundbreaking cancer treatments to the future of Artificial Intelligence, this school provides an insight into cutting-edge technology and groundbreaking medical science that will blow any listeners mind.

We Can't...

  • We cannot go inside MIT classrooms or dormitories, as they are functional classrooms and dormitories!

  • Unfortunately, we cannot include any “insider” tours of the tech and biotech labs at MIT. The companies and laboratories on MIT’s campus are active, working, and often sanitized laboratories which would have difficulty functioning if they allowed tour companies inside. If you are able to arrange something directly through one of the labs, we would be delighted to accompany you to and from the location within the timeframe of the tour, or as needed.

  • This tour is a walking tour, and not recommended as a path for a Step-On Tour
